PEAS A BUMPER CROP
Local Factory Working Long Hours
to Handle product
Peas, peas and. more peas are be
ing brought to the Exeter Branch
of the Canadian Gunners. -The crop
this year is turning out well and the
factory will have one of the largest
outputs of any season in Exeter. The
pack cn Saturday last was the larg
est in the history of the local branch
with close to a quarter of a million
cans being put up. Farmers are
realizing a satisfactory return, har
vesting around two loads of peas to
the acre the returns averaging from
$40' to $45 a load. One farmer’s
gross returns were $458 off six acres
The quality is considered very good.
One day last week Mr. Fred J.
Ccllins, advertisiing manager from
the head office, Hamilton, visited
the factory and had a number of
pictures taken of the various oper
ations. . Pictures were taken of the
farmers unloading their trucks at
the viners; of the staff of women
in their natty vyliite uniforms in
specting the peas and of various
operations.
The peas pass through the viners
for threshing. The pea straw is
dumped onto a conveyor belt and
elevated eighty feet where a mech
anical pea stacker builds the stack
quickei' and more evenly than can
be done by hand. The peas are taken
from the viners, dumped into bins
and conveyed first to the fanning!
mills where they are partly cleaned
and the small peas, too small
canning
for
purposes are dumped out.
From the fanning mill the peas pass
through another machine where they
are washed and again cleaned. Pass
ing along on conveyor belts the
peas are taken to the graders where
they are graded for large, medium
and small sizes. The graders are
large steel drums with holes
to correspond to the various grades.
Inside of these revolving drums the
peas start their journey. The small
peas are first taken out then the
medium and lastly the large. The
greatest menace to the pea pack is
the small thistle heads that have
made their way through the viners,
the fanning mills and the graders.
Next comes a rigiijL .personal inspec
tion. As the peas' pass along a wide
belt in front of a number of women
on either side of the line any foreign
substamces and any ‘unsuitable peas,
are picked out.
The next interesting step, one
that has long puzzled us, was the
separating of the tender peas from
the more mature peas, but it is, af
ter all, a very simple operation.
Passing through a pan of running
water with a suitable solution, the
tender peas rise to the top and are
carried off through one outlet while
the heavier peas remaining at the
'bottom are carried off through an
other outlet, again creating more
grades. A large amount of water
both hot and cold is used to insure
a perfect clean product. The
are next automatically filled
peas in a briny solution and
passed along to the capping
chines. These machines have
newly installed for this year’s
and have considerably speeded up
operations. The speed varies, the
average speed being around two tins
per second, but this may be speed
ed up when necessary. The cans,
ready for cooking, are placed in
large kettles made of strap iron and
run on an elevated track. They are
conveyed to the cookers where they
are steam cooked. After being
cooked they are stored in cases and
packed away for labelling which is
done just before the cans are ship
ped. The peas are seldom touched
by human hands.
The Exeter branch is* one of eighty
factories stretching across Canada
from the Maritimes to British Col
umbia with head office at Hamilton.
The company is the largest canning
company in the British Empire and
their output is shipped to all parts
of the Empire. Mr. L. J. Penhale,
of town, is the district superinten
dent and Mr. J. M. Boles, the new
manager, is finding favor with the
employees and the citizens of town
in general. At the present
there are over 100 employees
the pay roll.
